The Ministry of
Shipping had constituted a committee to study how the existing healthcare
infrastructure at Major Ports can be upgraded under PPP mode to provide world
class health services, along with affordable medical and paramedical education.
Presenting its report to Mr Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Shipping, Road Transport
and Highways in New Delhi last week, the committee has indicated possible
alternatives by which port hospitals can be upgraded under PPP mode so that
their healthcare facilities are augmented.

The report has also
indicated the feasibility of starting medical college and postgraduate specialty
courses attached to port hospitals. According to the report, the hospital at
Mumbai Port, which has more than 200 beds, can be taken up for this, while
hospitals at Cochin, Chennai, Visakhapatnam and Kolkata ports can be considered
for upgradation into tertiary care facilities, with a particular super specialty
being assigned to a specific port hospital, which then becomes the super
specialty centre for all referral purposes by the other port hospitals.

Port Trust Hospital,
Chennai could be availed for development of tertiary care facilities in the
domain of cardiovascular thoracic surgery, Port Trust Hospital, Cochin for
nephrology, Port Trust Hospital, Kolkata for neurology and neurosurgery, and
Port Trust Hospital, Visakhapatnam for gastroenterology and surgical
gastroenterology, the report said.

The report has also
indicated certain policy changes that need to be brought in with the objective
of widening the ambit of PPP mode and teachers’ eligibility qualification
under the relevant regulations, said a release.
